The Gallops Crop Circle appeared near Beckhampton, Wiltshire, England on July 28, 2002. It was an elaborate radial-spoke design that apparently was created in less than an hour in broad daylight. A helicopter pilot, who regularly flies tourists over the circles in the area, spotted it at 2:00 PM and swore it wasn't there an hour earlier, even after flying the same route.

Here is what another eye-witness observer had to say:

“A few days ago, my husband and I returned from a crop circle investigation trip to Wiltshire, England. We personally walked into ten of them and attended the Wiltshire Crop Circle Study Group’s crop circle conference held at Devizes School, Wiltshire. We took a half-hour helicopter ride over a dozen of the circles on Friday, 26th July.

“Our helicopter pilot gave 15 minute rides to four people at a time, over these exact same fields all day Saturday and Sunday during the conference. On Sunday the 28th, he made his last flight at 1:00 PM and one particular field was undisturbed. He stopped for lunch and at 2:15 PM flew back over that same particular field - and lo and behold, there was a brand new, fabulous circle in a field in Beckhampton, Gallops!

“It could not be seen from a road, but we got directions to drive to it and on Monday morning we drove to the spot, parked just off the road, hiked up a steep hill and the sight of that new circle just took our breath away! It was three circles within a huge scalloped circle, sliced into about 78 "pie like" pieces.

“We walked into it. I walked the three circles. The exterior one, with the wheat lying clockwise, was approximately 1,500 feet around it. The second circle had the wheat lying counterclockwise and was about 900 feet. The third circle had the wheat lying clockwise again and was approximately 450 feet. Each circle was about 6 feet wide. The innermost circle had the wheat all lying down in a counterclockwise direction, approximately 50 feet in diameter, with a small shaft of wheat left standing exactly in the middle. None of the wheat stalks were broken; merely bent over. In previous circles we visited, that had happened ten or so days prior, where people had not already crushed the wheat from walking upon it, the wheat stalks were already standing back up towards the sun! They were NOT damaged!

“To all the "nay sayers" who try to credit these crop circles to human beings, hoaxers, weather, etc., I have this to say... There is absolutely NO WAY that any human being(s) could have created this huge, fabulous work of art in a period of 75 minutes in broad daylight!

“I rest my case.”
